Engaged With The Ice Princess

"Cindy, please-"

His words were cut off by the loud smack that echoed through the room as my hand landed on his cheek. I gasped for air, my chest heaving. I tried to control my overflowing emotions but the betrayal was just too much.

Even if I didn't want to, my tears fell.

"You filthy man..." I muttered through gritted teeth, a smirk with no hint of humor made its way to my lips. "We're done."

I turned to leave without sparing my stepsister even a single glance, who was still on the bed and naked body was wrapped by a blanket. All I knew was she was satisfied. I was sure she was laughing at me for seeing me cry because she had successfully stolen my man. That bitch was enjoying it all.

"Cindy! Cindy, wait! Hear me out!"

I ignored his curses as he searched for his pants, while my heels were clacking against the floor as I hurriedly walked out of his unit. Hear him out? For what? What I had witnessed was already enough to break it up with him!

He spent the night with Lindsay, probably thinking that I wouldn't be home this early from my out-of-town trip. They both agreed to do it and they both enjoyed it! I wasn't stupid to stick to him after that. If he had done it once, he was capable of doing it again in the future!

And she wasn't just some random girl he found on the street. She was my stepsister! One of the people I hated the most and he knew that! How dare he?

The image of Rey was the last thing I saw before the elevator finally closed. My tears kept on falling, my chest ached that it's making it hard for me to breathe. He threw it away. Our three long years relationship was thrown away for that disgusting woman!

"That bastard..." I rested my head against the wall and breathed deeply. "How could he do this to me?"

Our relationship wasn't perfect. We had arguments but we always made sure the day wouldn't pass without resolving it! I knew I wasn't a perfect girlfriend either, but I was doing my best! We were happy! We were content! Or maybe that was just me?

Maybe he really wasn't content with what we had?

I ran out of the elevator as soon as I reached the lobby. With blurry vision, I went directly to the parking lot and approached my car. Rey had just exited the building when I drove away. My first thought was to go home to my own penthouse, but for sure he would follow me there.

So instead, I did a U-turn and drove my way to my best friend's place. There wasn't a second my tears stopped from falling. It was annoying. Why did I have to cry this much for a guy like him?

Damn I truly loved that bastard!

"Cindy, what the-" Freya Ariel Collins, my one and only friend, muttered curses as soon as she opened her unit's door and saw my swollen eyes. She immediately pulled me in and held both of my shoulders.

"Tell me, Cindy."

"I broke up with Rey."

"What?"

I looked away and escaped from her grasp. That's when I found a man on the sofa, someone I had never met. Freya loved playing around. Unlike me who had only had my first boyfriend since I was eighteen, Freya had already had countless boyfriends and exes since she was seventeen.

She didn't have a boyfriend anymore, but the 'no strings attached' kind of relationship. That's the very reason why she was so carefree and had no love life problems.

"Go home," Freya's voice from behind me snapped me out of my trance, talking to the stranger. The guy didn't say anything and just gathered his clothes scattered around the living room, displaying his well-built body clad only in his boxers.

That's when I realized that Freya was only wearing an oversized shirt and her underwear.

Without any word, he walked out of the room after dressing up, but not without kissing Freya on the lips. The scene only put salt to my wounded heart. Grimacing, I ignored them and walked to the sofa.

"So what happened?" Freya asked after locking the door. She jumped on the space next to me before grabbing the pack of potato chips on the center table.

"I caught him doing Lindsay."

She choked. "W-What... What the hell!"

I sniffled, resting my head on the backrest and stared at the ceiling. "I didn't know what to do. I was so shocked and..."
